Mahoning commissioners pave way for sewer work in Austintown

YOUNGSTOWN — The Mahoning County commissioners today adopted an administrative order to abate unsanitary conditions on Pineview Drive in the northwest corner of Austintown, where home septic systems are failing near Meander Reservoir, which supplies drinking water for Youngstown and surrounding communities.

The order sets the stage for a new sanitary sewer to be built to serve 17 single-family Pineview Drive homes, and that sewer would go into service next year and connect to an existing sanitary sewer that runs along Ohltown Road, said Bill Coleman, office manager in the sanitary engineer’s office.

The failing septic systems will be eliminated when the sewer goes into service.
